HidePointer
PUBLIC DOMAIN
This is a release 2.0 commodity to blank the intuition pointer after
a configurable period of inactivity, similar to the mouse blanking function
provided by DMouse, QMouse etc. Moving the mouse will cause the pointer
to automatically reappear. Since intuition's pointer is refreshed when
opening a new screen, switching from one screen to another etc., the pointer
is blanked at every mouse blanking interval. For example, if you specify
a mouse blanking interval of 5 seconds, the pointer will be blanked every
5 seconds. The effect of this is that when you open or switch to another
screen, the mouse pointer will briefly appear for a period of 5 seconds or
less.
Users may configure their favorite settings as tooltypes in HidePointer's
icon. The tool types that are recognized by HidePointer are:
CX_POPUP=YES Specify whether the interaction window is to
be brought up upon startup. Settings may be
"YES" or "NO". Default is YES.
DONOTWAIT If this option is present WorkBench will not
wait for the program to finish. Useful when
HidePointer is moved to the WBStartup drawer
for automatic activation when workbench is
started.
SECONDS=5 Number of seconds before the pointer should blank.
Defaults to 5.
CX_POPKEY=shift f2 Name of Hot Key to bring up interaction window.
Default is "shift f2".
(see the Commodities documentation for more info)
CX_PRIORITY=0 Priority at which to run hidepointer.
Default is 0.
